Job description

VP of Sales | Austin, TX | Industrial Services and Capital Equipment

Precision Sales Recruiting is hiring a VP of Sales for a growth stage industrial services company in Austin, Texas that is entering a major growth phase.

This is a build and scale leadership seat, not a caretaker role. The foundation is in place. Your job is to sharpen it, grow the team, and unlock the next stage of revenue. You will report directly to the CEO and hold a seat on the senior leadership team.

The company delivers an on-site industrial recycling solution as a service, helping manufacturers turn a waste stream into reusable material while cutting cost and reducing hazardous waste. The offering is differentiated, genuinely useful, and still new enough that the right leader can shape how its value is told.

What you will own

• Lead, coach, and develop a distributed sales team of seven, with a clear mandate to grow it
• Own and improve the sales process, messaging, and commercial execution
• Serve as a player-coach on the most important enterprise pursuits
• Build and deepen channel partner relationships that accelerate growth
• Bring strategic insight to a consultative, multi-stakeholder industrial sale

The sale

Strategic industrial B2B, combining equipment and service. The sale is consultative and multi-stakeholder, moving from qualification through an on-site plant meeting to proposal and close, with an average cycle of four to six months. You will sell into mid-market and larger manufacturers and lead a team that does the same.

Who you are

• A proven leader of B2B industrial sales teams who develops people and builds a winning group
• Experienced selling engineered or manufactured products, equipment, or services into OEMs and industrial operations
• Comfortable on both the plant floor and at the corporate level. You do not need to be an engineer, but you must be comfortable with engineers and plant leaders
• A creative, strategic thinker who can read field signal and adjust where there is no playbook
• Roughly 15 years of experience, including prior VP level sales leadership. Exact category match matters less than knowing how industrial customers think

Compensation

Base salary up to $250,000, with Year 1 on-target earnings of about $325,000. Commission is uncapped, with a 2x accelerator above target. The role includes equity, positioned to reward a builder who helps create real value as the company scales.

Location

On-site in Austin, Texas, working alongside leadership, with travel to customers and the field around 25 percent. Relocation to Austin is required for candidates outside the area.
